THE HIGH EIGHTH ' S LUXE HISTORY History is usually thought of in connection with honorable peo- ple and honorable events. Our school history is somewhat the same. We, the present high eighths, have tried our very best in our two years at Burbank to make ours a most interesting and important class history. We have many honorable students in our group, and I only regret that, because of limited space, I cannot name them all. Our athletes, advisory presidents, student body officers, and boys and girls who have given service to our school in other ways, have all done their work faithfully and well. Ever since the low seventh grade we have had many of our names on the honor roll. 7 hen we were low sevenths, we had the pleasure of having sixty-five make ' the honor roll. This, however, was not as high a record as that reached in the next two semesters, prob- ably because of our having had to make adjustments to new situa- tions. In the high seventh grade, eighty-two succeeded, and there were sixty-nine at the end of our low eighth term. When this arti- cle went to press at the close of the first report card period, twenty had reached the coveted goal. In June of 1933, twenty-three pupils received field awards. There were four basket ball winners at that time, as well as eight winners of volley ball pins and one tennis champion. Eleven ' scho- lastic honors and three service awards were earned by some of our most deserving members. In December of 1933, nine volley ball pins and one tennis pin were received by our class. Although it hap- pened to be the thirteenth of December, it was a lucky da, for the eight, boys and girls who were given scholastic honors and the five who earned service awards. During the fall semester of 1933 the H8 ' s participated in quite a few of the folk dances given for dhe assembly. In the Dutch Dance we found Marie Klier, Madeline Viale, Roseline L cetti. and Arlene Heath. Audrey Costa, Helen Hensler, and Melba Thomas were featured in the Alumni Mazurka, which I am sure we all enjoyed. Sylvia Nilsson played the piano for tho girls while they practiced. This term Mabel McRae, Ellen Schaefer, Etia Hutchinson, Dorothy Crane, 01 lie May I i liman ; and Matilda Si ; rist danced ir. the Minuet . They alwo danced on open house night. This term Eva Kriski has played the piano. Last fall fnany boys were in the Junior High Y. The officers were : Billy Rencher, Gene Crowe, Richard Davidson, and Charles Gaston. Last term we were very proud to have Philip Booth act as the boy chairman of the Junior Assembly and Josie Cuniberti as the girl chairman. I believe you will all agree that the high eighth class of June, 1934, has made an outstanding record during these past two years. No one knows what standard it may attain in the coming year, its last one at Burbank, but we members of the class intend to do our part to make it a fine one. --Rigmor Olsen FSx
